Thursday 12.00
Wexford 0 Mayo 1
Wexford were unlucky against a welll organised Mayo side who showed good composure and ball control. With honours even at the break Wexford were now playing against a strong wind which Mayo took advantage of just after ther restart and got the all-important gaol. This gave Mayo a lift and they controlled the game early in the second half. Wexford, to their credit, showed some great character and played their way back into the game and with a bit of luck could have had a equaliser late into the game, but it was not to be. They naw have to lift themselves to play thier final game of the Kennedy Cup tonight at 7.00
